2023When viewed as a list, the word “property” follows the word “person” within the stat- ute, a clearly tangible term. “[W]hen the legislature chooses to state both a general standard and a list of specifics, the specifics do more than place their particular subjects beyond the dispute; they also refer the scope of the general standard to matters of the same kind, often phrased in Latin as ‘ejus- dem generis.’ ” Bellikka v. Green, 306 Or 630, 636 , 762 P2d 997 (1988).
